This is FASCINATING. I am a total newcomer to digicams and have just got and played with a Nikon COOLPIX. In W98 and Nikkon 'View 5' (the bundled viewer) all the photo data appears with the piccy, but the ONLY file I have is a single JPG per shot, and I can edit/crop etc with Paintshop to my heart's content without any warnings, but when I view the result post-fiddle in the NIKKON prog., the data has gone. WHERE is it stored?
